Property details
Be the next custodians of a much‑loved village pub. Set in the heart of picturesque Church Broughton (c.650 residents), 13 miles west of Derby, The Holly Bush is a historic, guest‑favourite local with real momentum—and it’s now ready for its next chapter under a community food partnership with a landlord's menu.
The Hollybush has a charming layout that works hard throughout the day: dining area, snug, and mixed‑use bar, with seating to the front and a garden to the rear with 75 covers. In the village, you’ll find a primary school and church; Church Broughton blends farming roots with commuter access to Ashbourne, Uttoxeter, Derby and Burton upon Trent.
Enjoy 3‑bedroom private accommodation (sitting room, bathroom, kitchen) plus a downstairs office – giving you the space to live well and lead the business.
